Factors That Hinders Growth in Business

in Project HOPE5 years ago

Some people have been in the game of business and industry for a very long time and while they work very hard, they do not seem to move pass the level they are. It is unfortunate that a good number of us are moved with activities rather than achievement and growth, the fact that you work all day and night does not mean that you are growing, sometimes it just mean you are filled with activities.

if you are like I was or like most people, you have one more mistaken beliefs that create a gap that keeps you from growing and reaching your goals.____John C. Maxwell

Simple living has affected so many people and it has become the major reason why growth has eluded them, the principle of growing by the day and taking whatever the day throws at them is what keeps them stagnant. There was a time I meet a man who had the philosophy that growth was not our deliberate effort, so we do not have to work or stress ourselves to achieve anything in life, those things will come our way naturally, I smiled and looked at him, I asked him a simple question, are you contended with your present condition and his reply was, I take whatever life throws at me. It takes a deliberate decision to become a better person, you do not just wait for things to get better, you do not just set targets and hope they will work out, you go for those goals and make them become achievable. If you want good things to come to you, you need to take deliberate effort to improve.

It is not enough to wish to grow, you have to take steps to improve daily and constantly, the problem with some people is that they wish to grow but they do not know how to grow. You have to seek knowledge about growth, it is not enough to have the desire to grow, it takes deliberate effort to learn and grow accordingly. The good book says seek knowledge, when you seek knowledge you get it and you even get much more.

Other categories of humans actually go out of their way to obtain knowledge, but they never move pass their comfort zone. Movement is essential for growth, when you keep procrastinating, you never achieve anything at the end of the day.

The longer you wait to do something you should do now, the greater the odds that you will never actually do it._____ Law of diminishing returns.

When you continue to live your life based on the decision to move tomorrow, you will never be able to accomplish anything. The process of growth is an intentional one and it is only proper to begin the movement immediately.

It is a wrong idea to seek for a perfect plan before you move, perfection does not always come on the first day at work, the more you learn, is the more you move towards the ladder of perfection. Perfection will come to you when you begin to move, perfection does not meet you on the grounds of idleness.

I do not go with this school of thought. Growth in anything including business needs proper planning and dedication.

Yeah, that philosophy usually leads to ruin, I hope you read through to find out that I do not support that school of thought as well, thanks for reading.

It is easy to be busy, but it doesn't mean that you are growing, just because you are busy. Well said, and it truly is so that it is important to the right tasks in order to grow as a person, and as a business leader. I really do hope I will be a better version of myself in 1 year from now!

It is important to always aim to be a better person, I wish you the best @unbiasedwriter.
